The suspect entered the child's residence and assaulted the child's mother before taking the child. The suspect is under the influence of drugs and the child's life is beleived to be in danger. They may be traveling in the listed vehicle.

The "amber alerts" are part of a Verizon thing I think. Maybe all cellphone carriers, not sure. About a month ago there was an abduction and everyone's cellphones got pop-up emergency amber alert messages. They did apprehend the perps and got the kid(s). But yeah, it seemed a bit strange to have it pop up on a weather type alert. Sadly, usually Meth or some other dangerous drug use is involved.
